Real Madrid forward picks Lyon, Sporting out of the running | OneFootball

Lyon is expected to be Endrick's destination in January. The Brazilian forward will leave Real Madrid and had included Sporting on a list of possible clubs to join, but it seems that Ligue 1 will indeed be the young player's destination.

According to information provided by Fabrizio Romano – an Italian journalist specializing in transfer market news – Endrick "is giving total priority to Lyon", despite recent reports of interest from Premier League clubs.

On the table is a loan until the end of the season, since Endrick is not in Xabi Alonso’s plans. In Madrid, the Brazilian player has had a very difficult time, especially since the arrival of the Spanish coach.

Since the World Cup will be held in 2026, Endrick wants to leave Real Madrid in order to get regular playing time and fight to be called up by Carlo Ancelotti for the Brazilian national team, with Sporting keeping a close eye.

This season, wearing the Real Madrid shirt, Endrick – valued at 35 million euros – has only played one match. The player linked to Sporting came on for 11 minutes in the win over Valencia. In 2024/25, the 19-year-old scored seven goals in 37 games (845 minutes).
